Here is a link to some interesting observations/photos of the Challenger that showed up for Koni Challenge practice at Daytona: Forums - Blackforest Dodge Challenger - Grand-Am.

I wonder if someone will show up with a new Mustang prepped for this at Barber in April? I can hardly wait to see the three different muscle cars on-track again.

After last weekend at Hallet, my car now has broken the 5,000 mile mark. I bought it with about 1,633 miles in 2003. Since I've owned it, it has been through 3 sets of front brake rotors, 6 sets of front brake pads, 3 sets of tires, and 10 oil/filter changes. It has seen 9 different road race...
Joe and I met up at Hallet for a great weekend! There were only 3 Cobra Rs there--me, Joe and Ford Racing brought 00R no. 1 for display.
The weather was great, and lots of track time. I recorded a personal best of 1:32 in the clockwise (backwards) direction. Fun, fun, fun...
Two...
I tested my car for the first time on a chassis dyno (DynoJet). I think the results are consistent with others I've seen here. 291.63 HP at about 4500 RPM, 355 TQ at about 4000 RPM.
I am happy with the results. My motor is not balanced, and has not had any head or intake work. I think...
OK Moderators, kill me! I just posted to check out mine to see how it looks...and ask for advice on a question
I'm trying to decide whether to sign up for the SVTOA event at Hallet next month. I can afford the entry fee, but...
My last event (June) confirmed that my stock traction-lock...
I had a great time! I got to meet Tom Shepard, his dad, and Dell Hughes for the first time. I also saw Jim Steelman, Joe Johnson and Jeff again. We got 3 track days in, but a few sessions were lost on rain. I also met a Cajun named John from LA with a 95R. The guy that owns Late Model...
There are some photos that appear ligit to me. I make this assessment because the photos show a real new Mustang that has exterior features indicating Ford is going a good direction--IMHO. It relects an approach I think most of us on this forum would take with the new Mustang as a start point...
95R owners,
FRPP is offering a new part. It is a 75mm throttle body for the 94-95 upper intake. Unlike other 75s available (BBK, etc.), it is a Ford part. I also noticed there was a least one performance oil pan available for our engine--again, a Ford part, but likely made by Canton.
With...
Anyone have a good source for metal mesh that fits the front bumper openings--protecting the radiator and oil cooler? At Pueblo, I ended up behind a guy shedding his tires. ;(
The weather held out at Pueblo, but I drove through two snow showers to get there, and two coming home.
I drove in HPDE Group 2, so I had no instructor. Group 1 (students w/instructors) and Group 2 were on track together, so I had to put up with the first-timers. The instructors really had...
This is mostly to those who have asked how it's going...Mark, Brian, Sean, Tom, etc.
All body work is done, and the car is painted. The hood is satin black. I have the radiator (damn hard to find), oil cooler, p/s cooler, and coolant can re-installed. I reconditioned the front bumper...
I bought these from Hyper-Performance. I went to install them on the spindles, and it looks like the anti-lock device is interfering. It also looks like there will be interference with the sway bar at full steering deflection.
I'm trying to contact Hyper-Performance. Do you guys have any...
Replacing the steel d/s with the aluminum one was very easy compared to removing the heater assembly. Yes, lowering the steering and removing the dash to get to the heater was work--about 6 hours. Removal of the coolant piping (to the heater) under the hood wasn't bad, just one trip to the...
If I'm not mistaken, Bruce's car is #177. I'm admiring the simple touch of a black hood. If I paint mine black, then both "177" cars would be distinctive. However, if my car has a black hood, does that mean I have to be able to pass Z06's at will and have a special fondness for farm animals?
Guys,
I need to provide the body shop some help putting my car back together. Due to the original damage, they can't figure out exactly how the p/s and engine oil coolers were attached (Bruce, I avoided the term, "mounted") from looking at the photos they took.
Would someone please email me...
